A successful housewarming party took place at our new Stockholm-Arlanda Airfreight office. All airlines and major airfreight terminals were invited. The attendees had the chance to mingle, enjoy snacks, food, drinks in a friendly atmosphere, and get to know the Nordic Consolidators Team even better.

A big thank you to all attendess and to our Stockholm team for organizing this event!

From 1st January 2020, a new regulation will come into force to reduce air pollution from ships globally. Whereas today ships can use fuel with up to 3.5% sulphur content (outside Emission Control Areas), the new global sulphur cap will be 0.5%.

The regulation has been developed and adopted by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).
It will reduce sulphur pollution from shipping by more than 80%, and therefore have a very significant positive impact on the environment and human health.

We wish to advice of the following changes to our bank details effective 1st of October 2018, valid for Sweden. Please amend your records. If you have any questions, please contact Accounts.Sweden@nordicconsolidators.com

Heavy storms in China cause delays. Monsun and the typhoid season have started, and at present, the ports in Ningbo and Shanghai have suffered congestions, which contribute to increased waiting times for the vessels to get into the dock and load / unload. This means that the ocean vessels will have longer lead times to and from the Nordic Countries. We have also seen examples where delayed vessels have had to leave Gothenburg in advance, without all export cargo being loaded.
